Matt started writing in the 8th grade. Like most petulant teenagers, he had a fight with his mother that had no resolution. Immediately after the fight, he took pen to paper and "told" her how he really felt. When he was finished, there still wasn't any resolution between himself and his parental unit, but he felt a hell of a lot better.

Like most lazy-assed teens, he took to writing "poetry" because complete sentences terrified him. He produced nothing but dreck for the next four years. Eventually, he realized that poetry was more of a concept than a form and has since then embraced complete sentences.

Regardless, he kept writing well into adulthood. Small victories were won: a writing gig here, a guest blog there. Thankfully, since the Internet has evolved into the beast that it is, he can achieve modest, monetary success with the help of web sites like Writer Access.

Matt is interested in a steady paycheck. If you need something done writing-wise and you're willing to pay, he's the dude for you.

Education

St. Edward High School

This is where Matt went to high school. In theory, he received a good education in spite of the fact that there was a minimum of 4 hours of homework a night and that it is a strictly sports-centered school (Meaning, you had an easier time with teachers and the student body at large if you were associated with a sport even if that sport was something as benign as golf).

Cuyahoga Community College

This is where Matt went to school after high school. Yes, it is a school that bills itself as being able to grant it's students a degree in two years. What most people don't realize that in order to achieve that you have to take an insane number of classes.

Matt couldn't take an insane number of classes because he had a full time job and other personal matters he needed to attend to.

Kaplan University

At this point in his life, Matt was happily married with three children. He opted to stay at home with the kids while his wife worked as a Nurse. As if that wasn't enough of a challenge, he decided to attend Kaplan University online.
